III. YOUR ACCOUNT / PASSWORD SECURITY / SUSPENSION, TERMINATION

In order to access some features of the Services, you may be required to register an account (an "Account"). When creating or updating an Account, you may be asked to provide us with certain personal information, which may include your e-mail address and other information that can be used to identify you. Such information, if provided to us, will be held and used in accordance with our Privacy Policy at http://tid.toast.com/toastPrivacyTermAgreeGlobal.nhn. You may never use another's Account without permission or permit another to use your Account. You may not create more than one Account. You are prohibited from registering a new Account if you have previously had an Account terminated. You are solely and fully responsible for (i) keeping confidential any password that you created to use any aspect of the Services requiring registration and (ii) restricting access to your computer or mobile device. You agree to accept full responsibility for all activities that occur within your Account, including any and all activities that are conducted through the use of your login details, whether or not authorized by you. You must notify us immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your Account. Although we will not be liable for your losses caused by any unauthorized use of your Account, whether with or without your knowledge, you may be liable for our losses or the losses of our third-party licensors, content providers, merchants, advertisers, sponsors, and service providers (collectively, "Providers") due to such unauthorized use.

Without limiting anything in this Agreement, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to restrict, suspend, or terminate your Account and/or your access to all or any part of the Services at any time, for any or no reason, with or without prior notice, and without liability, including in the event we stop offering any aspect of the Services. We expressly reserve the right to restrict, suspend and/or terminate your access to any part of the Services if we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have violated any of the terms of this Agreement. You also understand and acknowledge that if you delete your account, or if we terminate and/or delete your account in accordance with these terms, you may lose access to any data previously associated with your Account (including, without limitation, the level or score you have reached in our Services and any Virtual Items associated with your Account).

IV. PURCHASES / PAYMENTS / REFUNDS

We associate ourselves with certain Services, including, without limitation, for the download of Apps, and the purchase of Virtual Items (as defined below). Such products or services will be made available for purchase on a third party store used by us (such as Google Play or App Store), specified pages of the Site, within the Apps, or otherwise as indicated through the Services. Certain Apps allow you to purchase Virtual Items (as defined below) within the App. Such purchases may be made available in both Apps which you must purchase to download as well as Apps which are free to download.

You are responsible for all third party charges, including but not limited to the internet connection, and mobile communication charges, that you may incur for accessing or using our Services. Prices for all products and services exclude all applicable taxes and telecommunication charges, unless otherwise indicated. To the extent permissible by law, you agree to be responsible for any such applicable taxes and telecommunication charges. Your purchase of any App, Virtual Item or other content through the Services constitutes your representation and warranty that you are of legal age to form a binding contract, and if not of legal age that you have placed such order with the permission of a parent or legal guardian, and that you are not a person barred from using or receiving the Services by any local, state, federal or international law.

We assume no liability for purchaser error, trial versions, software purchased for the wrong telephone, device or platform, promotion codes or discounts not provided at the time of purchase ("Purchaser Errors"). We will not be liable for any errors on billing statements issued to you by your carrier. You accept full responsibility for confirming that the phone or other device manufacturer, phone or other device model, and carrier are supported and that the phone or other device is compatible to the products or services purchased, downloaded or otherwise obtained by you through the Services. Please read the system requirements very carefully before making any purchases. If you have other questions in connection with any product or service available through the Services, please contact the NHN Entertainment Corporation technical team at help@toast.com . We accept ABSOLUTELY NO RETURNS on software downloads.

V. VIRTUAL ITEMS

Certain Services may allow you to "earn" or "purchase" (a) virtual currency, including but not limited to virtual coins, cash, tokens, or points, all for use in the Services; (b) virtual in-game items; or (c) certain in-game benefits (collectively, "Virtual Items"). YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT VIRTUAL ITEMS HAVE NO REAL WORLD VALUE AND CANNOT BE REDEEMED FOR ACTUAL CURRENCY, GOODS OR OTHER ITEMS OF MONETARY VALUE, INCLUDING IN THE EVENT THAT YOU HAVE UNUSED VIRTUAL ITEMS REMAINING IN YOUR ACCOUNT AT THE TIME YOUR ACCOUNT IS CLOSED, WHETHER SUCH CLOSURE WAS VOLUNTARY OR NOT.

All sales of virtual items are final. No refunds will be given, except in our sole and absolute discretion. The purchase of any Virtual Item is merely the purchase of a limited personal revocable license to use the Virtual Item exclusively in the applicable Services and does not transfer ownership of that Virtual Item to you. This license is personal to you and cannot be sold, transferred, assigned, gifted, traded or sublicensed. Accordingly, we expressly prohibit and do not recognize any purported sales, transfers, assignments, gifts, trades or sublicenses of Virtual Items, whether for "real money," goods or any other exchange outside of the Services. Any such transfer or attempted transfer is prohibited and void, and may subject you to a termination of your account, a lifetime ban from our products and services, and/or legal action.

We reserve the right to control, regulate, change or remove any Virtual Items in our sole discretion and without any liability to you. We reserve the right to charge fees for the right to access or use Virtual Items, and we may revise the perceived value or pricing for any Virtual Items. [We may also decide to distribute Virtual Items without charge, at our sole discretion.]

VI. ONLINE CONDUCT

You, as a user, agree to use the Services only for lawful purposes. Specific prohibited activities include, but are not limited to:

• promoting illegal or tortious activities or conduct that is abusive, threatening, obscene, defamatory or libelous;

• attempting to circumvent, disable or otherwise interfere with security-related features of the Services or features that prevent or restrict use or copying of any content or enforce limitations on use of the Services or the content therein;

• using cheats, automation software, bots, hacks, mods or any other unauthorized software designed to modify or interfere with the Services;

• using any software that intercepts, mines, or otherwise collects information about other users or copies and stores any Proprietary Materials (as defined below).

• interfering with, disrupting, or creating an undue burden on the Services or the networks or services connected to the Services;

• accessing or using a third party account or any Virtual Items that have been sublicensed, rented, leased, sold, traded, gifted, bequeathed, or otherwise transferred from the holder of the original account creator;

• utilizing multiple accounts, manual procedures, bots, scripts or other processes in order to accumulate or "farm" Virtual Items; and

• using the Services in a commercial manner, including the transferring of Virtual Items in exchange for "real world" money.

Any conduct by you in violation of the foregoing prohibitions may result in the suspension or termination of your Account and your access to the Services.

VII. CONTENT

A. Proprietary Rights

With the exception of content posted by users of the Services ("User Content"), all materials contained on the Services, including all content, the Virtual Items and the software, graphics, text and look and feel of the sites, and all trademarks, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property rights related thereto ("Proprietary Materials"), are owned or controlled by NHN Entertainment Corporation, our subsidiaries or affiliated companies, our third party licensors, and/or our advertising partners. You may not modify, remove, delete, augment, add to, publish, transmit, participate in the transfer or sale of, create derivative works from, or in any way exploit any Proprietary Materials, or any other protectable aspects of the Services, in whole or in part.

Subject to your compliance with this Agreement and any other relevant policies related to the Services, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable limited license subject to the limitations herein to access and use the Services and Proprietary Materials for your own non-commercial entertainment purposes consistent with the intended purpose of the Services. You agree not to use the Service for any other purpose. As referenced above, even though you may buy Virtual Items with "real world" money, you do not, in fact, "own" such items. By making such a purchase, you are merely being granted a license to use such Virtual Items in the applicable Apps or other Services for which such Virtual Items can be used. The Virtual Items have no real world value and are not in any way a credit or balance of real currency or its equivalent. In no event can any Virtual Items be redeemed for actual, "real world" currency. We have the sole and absolute right to manage, regulate, control, modify and/or eliminate such Virtual Items as we see fit in our sole discretion, and shall have no liability to you or anyone for the exercise of such rights.

We reserve the right to revoke the limited license granted to you herein in our sole and absolute discretion. We may also, in our sole and absolute discretion, limit or terminate your right to access or use our Services or part thereof, maintain or delete your account and any items associated therewith, including but not limited to any Virtual Items (defined below), without any liability to you.

B. Distribution/Uploading Of Content

You are prohibited from posting on or transmitting through the Services (e.g., through uploaded content, a chat or user forum, online review or comment posted through the Services) any content that infringes upon a third party's intellectual property rights or is defamatory, damaging, illegal, or offensive. Without limiting the foregoing, you may not post, modify, distribute, or reproduce in any way on the Services any copyrighted material, trademarks, or other proprietary information belonging to others unless you have first obtained the prior written consent of the owner of such proprietary rights. It is our policy to terminate the account of anyone who repeatedly infringes the copyright rights of others upon our receipt of proper notification from the copyright owner or the copyright owner's legal agent.

By submitting content or materials ("Your Content") to us through the Services, including, without limitation, uploading any materials, choosing a username, or participation in any chats or forums, you automatically grant us and our designees, or warrant that the owner of such content has expressly granted us and our designees, the royalty-free, irrevocable, sublicensable and transferable, non-exclusive right and license to use, reproduce, publish, translate, edit, adapt, modify, prepare derivative works of, copy, perform, display, distribute, host, store, market, advertise and sell Your Content, including all patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights in and to such content and your username, actual name, and likeness (if submitted), in whole or in part worldwide, including in connection with announcing you as the winner of a sweepstakes/contest or including you in leaderboards. You also hereby grant each user of the Services a non-exclusive license to access Your Content through the Services, and to use, reproduce, distribute, display and perform Your Content as permitted through the functionality of the Services and under this Agreement.

The foregoing is subject to the provision regarding Unsolicited Submissions below. Subject to these grants, you retain any and all rights which may exist in Your Content. We may disclose any of Your Content or electronic communication of any kind (i) to satisfy any law, regulation, or government request; (ii) if such disclosure is necessary or appropriate to operate our Services; (iii) to protect the rights or property of NHN Entertainment UCorporation and our officers, directors, employees and agents; or (iv) to protect the NHN Entertainment Corporation Providers and any other user.

C. Representations and Warranties

You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to use and authorize us to use all patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights in and to any and all of Your Content and to enable inclusion and use of Your Content in the manner contemplated by the Services and this Agreement. You further represent and warrant Your Content will not defame any third party and that the use of Your Content on the Services will not violate or infringe upon the intellectual property rights, or the rights of privacy or publicity, of any third party.

D. Third-Party Content & User Content

You acknowledge that NHN Entertainment Corporation is an online service provider that may post content supplied by third parties and users. We have no more editorial control over the content posted by such third parties (including User Content) than does a public library or newsstand. Any opinions, advice, statements, judgments, services, offers, or other information that constitutes part of the content expressed or made available by third parties, including User Content, are those of the respective authors or distributors and not of NHN Entertainment Corporation or its affiliates or any of their officers, directors, employees, or agents. While we retain the right to filter or reject User Content and other content posted by third parties, we review User Content and other third party content in a limited gate-keeper fashion and have no obligation to investigate whether any content or other User Content violate any term of this Agreement and will not do so in most cases. We neither endorse nor are responsible for the User Content or any other content posted to the Services by anyone other than NHN Entertainment Corporation Just as you retain complete ownership of Your Content (subject to the license to us granted above), all other users of the Services retain ownership of their User Content. You may not modify, remove, delete, augment, add to, publish, transmit, participate in the transfer or sale of, create derivative works from, or in any way exploit any User Content in whole or in part.

E. Unsolicited Submissions

We are pleased to hear from our customers and welcome their comments regarding our Services. Unfortunately, however, long-standing company policy does not allow us to accept or consider creative ideas, suggestions or materials other than those it has specifically requested. We hope you will understand that it is the intent of this policy to avoid the possibility of future misunderstandings when projects developed by our professional staff might seem to others to be similar to their own creative work. Accordingly, we must, regretfully, ask that you do not send us any original creative materials such as game ideas or original artwork. While we do value your feedback on our services and products, we request that you be specific in your comments on those services and products, and not submit any creative ideas, suggestions or materials. If, despite our request that you not send us any other creative materials, you send us creative suggestions, ideas, notes, drawings, concepts or other information (collectively, the "Unsolicited Submissions"), the Unsolicited Submissions shall be deemed, and shall remain, the property of NHN Entertainment Corporation. None of the Unsolicited Submissions shall be subject to any obligation of confidence on the part of NHN Entertainment Corporation, and we shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of any Unsolicited Submissions. Without limitation of the foregoing, we shall exclusively own all now known or hereafter existing rights to the Unsolicited Submissions of every kind and nature, in perpetuity, throughout the universe and shall be entitled to unrestricted use of the Unsolicited Submissions for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to the provider of the Unsolicited Submissions. You waive any and all moral rights in any such Unsolicited Submissions as well as any claim to a right of credit or approval. The foregoing shall also apply to any creative submissions you make at our specific request, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
